Imitation of Life [1959]

50 min • 28 december 2021

Jackie & Greg struggle with the inclusion of Douglas Sirk's classic melodrama on the list. After making comparisons to the original film from 1934, they question the intent of the 1959 remake. Does Sirk bring anything new to the table? Is the film more popular than it should be due to the scandal surrounding the murder of Lana Turner's mobster boyfriend? Tune in and hear them at their most indifferent, as they attempt to suss out how much of the film is intentional, while pulling absurd dialogue from the film and going to town.
